The MediaCP Wowza Edition supports the Statistic relay of SAM Broadcaster. (Only available from version 2.1.5.6 onwards)
Server Configuration & Prerequisites
SAM Broadcaster looks for the connectionscount.xml at the base of the domain name.
For example: http://yourdomain.com/connectionscount.xml
If you have your control panel installed at http://yourdomain.com/mediacp/ then this will not work.
You will need to configure a .htaccess file at the base of your website that redirects the connectionscount.xml to your mediacp
For example: http://yourdomain.com/connectionscount.xml
